You're right, but there isn't a single method of pest control that doesn't give rise to resistance. The name escapes me right now, but there's a weed that infects rice paddies that is becoming resistant to hand-weeding. Over time it is adapting to look more like rice. Each time a farmer mistakes it for rice, that genotype is selected for and advances to future generations.
